Winner GBP £4,470 - 7 runners
1m 6f
Going: Standard
Surface: AW
A tricky opener where plenty look to have chances. Slender preference goes the way of CAPTAIN ROBERT (7) who is due to go up 3lb following his neck second over 2m at Lingfield AW recnetly and has the services of talented amateur Paul Hainey. Previous course winner CARDINAL POINT (5) goes well here and proved she remained in good heart when runner-up behind a well-treated scorer over 1m6f at Wolverhampton late last month. SPECTACULAR STYLE (3) bolted up by 12L at Wolverhampton (1m6f) in October and could easily follow-up off 7lb higher if in the same mood. VAYNOR (1) cannot be ruled out.
